Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a modular high-density shelving unit for automated retail of cosmetics. Background Technology
[0002] Shelving is an important tool for improving efficiency in modern warehouses. Traditional shelving relies on manual access to goods. However, in industries such as e-commerce, food, clothing, and cosmetics, the variety of products is greater than in other industries, and the products are often smaller in size. General shelving has limitations in storage and is extremely inconvenient to use.
[0003] Currently, the types of shelving used in warehousing are becoming increasingly automated and intelligent. However, due to the box-type, separate structure of unmanned parcel lockers and vending machines, the storage dimensions of the cabinets are fixed, and large and small goods are usually stored separately, resulting in low utilization of warehouse space. If there are many types of goods and significant differences in size, there will be situations where large-sized goods are insufficient or small-sized goods occupy large-sized cabinets. Furthermore, the buffer storage capacity of unmanned parcel lockers and vending machines is relatively low due to the height at which people retrieve goods and the floor space required.
